It seems that sneak peeks of the next Nexus device - and its firmware - have really been picking up steam in recent days. Just after we were treated to video of Ice Cream Sandwich running on a Nexus S, the folks at MyDroidWorld have released the so-called Nexus Prime's boot animation to the public, and it looks, well, awesome. I've taken the liberty of putting together a clip of the boot animation by itself for your viewing pleasure:

If you need a refresher on how to install a custom boot animation, check out our guide on the subject. There is still no word on when we'll hear more about Ice Cream Sandwich or the latest Nexus phone from Samsung and Google, but if you want something gorgeous that may hold you - and your phone - over for a little while longer, grab the download below and enjoy!

Is the resolution 480*800?
and is the zip OK to flash for sgs2?

Chris

Resolution is 720p. I don't know if you need to edit it first or not.

A bit OT but.. anyone else noticed that the Samsung event flyer image and the Nexus Prime video show two different devices? In the video you can see a silver trim along the whole border of the device, but on the flyer the top half of the device is black, probably plastic, while the bottom is silver. And it can't be a light reflection issue since towards the end he titlts the device slightly and you can clearly see that the top half of the device is all silver/grey. Maybe the one in the vid is an older prototype?

It's definitely two different devices. The lock button from the Samsung video is on the upper right, but in the leaked video it is on the upper left. Notice the guy locks the phone with his left thumb (1:11 in the vid). It would be kind of odd for them to be playing with the lock button locations...

I flashed this on Virtuous unity 2.39 and there is no bootanimation plus I get "com.htc.bg stopped unexpectedly " what to do?

umm.. what is MIUI? does it mean that it will work on lower resolution phones??

please help me

Dra

MIUI is a custom rom, and has it's own theme engine built into it.
with this file it's possible to change the bootanimation from within the rom.

It works fine without any editing, and yes, also on GS2

nexus one and nexus s boot animation had an X forming
why should that change in this nexus device?
maybe fake????

Dra

It's true that the nexus one and s both had a x as bootanimation.
But honeycombs b.a. is different and looks a lot like this one. So my guess is that Google will create a new b.a. for every android version
